iceman64 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) This just in, surprising in one way, not surprising in another! After a steady progression upward, along with his confidence to stare down that rob some if the best snipers in the NHL in regulation time, overtime, and shoot out. Demko is ranked in the top 10 goalies in the NHL by the sportingnews.com coming in at 9th and you just know he may or may not be at his ceiling but his calmness and focus is surely at the elite level and it's showing what a great investment he is, not to mention his humility and heart that's so much fun to watch! Congrats Demmer! Glad your with us! edit: yes might vary depending on who you talk to but I'd agree with him on the top 10 list especially consistently playing so well in the last 10 games and the most steady player on the team, almost matched closely maybe by Garland before BB showed up.

Phil_314 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He's one of the best for sure! Especially true when your name ranks among the likes of Vasilievskiy, Fleury, Shesterkin and Hellebuyck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 9th is probably a fairly accurate rating I'd say. He's a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link to the article? I am curious as to who is ahead of Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Demko is ninth in GSAA for all situations. But he’s being brought way down by the team’s PK results. Looking at just 5v5 or even strength, he’s actually #2 in the NHL in GSAA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 considering the poll was probably done back east I think we should give him a 30% upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I was one of the first here to suggest letting Marky walk instead of trading/losing TD. That was just before Demko's all-world performance against the Golden Shytes.

The point I was making is Thatcher is just as capable and at a lower cost with no NMC and oh yeah is 5 years younger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be stuck with a 31 yr old goaltender at 6 million with a NMC - I loved Marky in Vancouver but the right choice was made to let him walk with Demko in the wings.

beni Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Vancouver has had their struggles with developing players, but they have done a heck of a job with netminders in the past 12 or so years. Schneider Markstrom Demko And DiPietro may prove to be a solid goalie as well one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
